Went to go see this tonight, for those not familiar with it, the movie is about the campaign to abolish the slave trade in the British Empire in the period 1780-1800. The movie doesn't have any marquis actors, the most recognizable name is Michael Gambon, and seems to have an all British cast. For this reason, it probably won't get as wide an audience as it should, but if you have the chance to go see it, it's worth it. Very moving and powerful film about the campaign by William Wilberforce to bring an end to the slave trade. Very well done and shows the power of one determined man to be able to change society and the world around him.

Bill-- thanks for the heads up. By the way your 234/2 is superb! I have that on my next model in the build cycle.
